Your scales are definitely lying to you! Educogym Canary Wharf tell you why

CANARY WHARF, U.K. - March 15, 2018 - PRLog -- Whether you count in pounds, stones or kilos, many of us look at the scales for guidance on how our fat loss, or gain is going. The steps are simple, you get on the scale and if the number goes down you've lost weight right? "Wrong. So many people focus on the number on the scales but there are so many variables that can affect the outcome. How much food or water you have drank, how much excercise you've done, even if you've just had a bath. So the scales can be extremely inaccurate and misleading for those trying to lose fat" explained Orlstyne Wilson, personal trainer Canary Wharf.

So why is so much focus put on the number on the scales? "Obviously the scales are a small guide to see if you are going in the right direction, and in general this is right, but for those really tuned in to their bodies and focused on getting the right result, the priority should not be the scales. For example, you could have gained a pound of muscle in a week, you could have drank 3 litres of water in a day, and lost 1 pound of fat, yet the scales would go up, for some this would cause panic and cause you to change your nutrition or excercise when in fact it is working perfectly" explained Orlstyne Wilson, personal trainer at Educogym Canary Wharf.

So how do we get an accurate result? "It's so simple, you need to get a full body composition and calliper measure done, this simply measures the calliper readings on 4 parts of the body by measuring skin folds to determine your body fat percentage. Unlike your bmi, your body fat percentage is a much better rule to follow as it takes into consideration your lean tissue mass, your muscle, and your fat, at Educogym Canary Wharf we offer a calliper measure as part of a consultation, and our clients have them twice a month to keep focused and on track" explained Orlstyne Wilson, Educogym personal trainer.

So there you have it, the scales are a good guide to know where you are at BUT they are not the be all and end all of results. Need a calliper measure? Contact Educogym Canary Wharf to arrange a free consultation.
